Find out in this report how the two Log Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The build is stable and requires little maintenance, even compared to some extremely expensive products."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its new interface."
"The ability to write custom alerts is key to information security and compliance."
"The product is scalable. The solution is stable."
"Message forwarding through the in-built module."
"We run a containerized microservices environment. Being able to set up streams and search for errors and anomalies across hundreds of containers is why a log aggregation platform like Graylog is valuable to us."
"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."
"Allowing us to set up alerts and integrate with platforms we already use, such as Slack and OpsGenie to alert users of these errors proactively, is also a very useful feature."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"The virtualization solution supports data center virtualization, network and security."
"The events are notably more descriptive, aiding in security and event analysis. We've also integrated Sky Collector, providing valuable insights and solutions for troubleshooting."
"What I like is that you can have different storage locations for different applications."
"I like the interface."
"The tool helps my company deal with security and log analysis, which are very important areas for us...It is a scalable solution."
"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes."
"With technical support, you are on your own without an enterprise license."
"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."
"The biggest problem is the collector application, as we wanted to avoid using Graylog Collector Sidecar due to its architecture."
"More complex visualizations and the ability to execute custom Elasticsearch queries would be great."
"Graylog can improve the index rotation as it's quite a complex solution."
"There should be some user groups and an auto sign-in feature."
"Dashboards, stream alerts and parsing could be improved."
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"I would like to see more tutorials or at least an introduction video from the supplier, so you can become proficient and get the most out of the solution. You might not get the full benefit from a logging or reporting solution because you might not have a particular tool enabled. You could leave something out of your analysis because you aren't aware of it or you don't know how to set it up."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
"The solution should be more user-friendly. The user interface and dashboard could be simplified."
"The tool is expensive."
"In the VMware environment, one area for improvement is the handling of VM failovers due to host failures, such as unexpected shutdowns from hardware issues. Currently, High Availability (HA) doesn't seem to recognize whether the VMs are online during failover, treating them as offline or unavailable."
"The product's price falls on the higher end of the spectrum, making it an area of concern."
"Log retention should have more options for user control."
